Animal Attraction: Mecox Gardens Opens in Highland Village

“Our primary emphasis is a dedication to achieving an overall balance between the interior and outdoor living environment,” reads the copy on the home page of the Mecox Gardens website.

Paloma Contreras, who runs Houston’s La Dolce Vita blog, took these photos on a recent visit. Mecox Gardens features “vintage and reedition” home and garden furnishings.

So here’s a reader challenge:

    From James Cocoran:

    This store is fabulous! It brings a different look that has been missing in Houston. It has a very relaxed vibe and
    the staff is very friendly. Check it out.
